Splendour of the Seas Cruise Ship

Splendour of the Seas, a Vision vessel, sails along South America, the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and the Baltic Islands. The Splendour of the Seas cruise showcases the planet’s most fascinating ports and beautiful coastlines. It features acres of glass skylights that magnificently lighten up most of its entertainment areas. The heart of the Splendour of the Seas Ship has an atrium surrounded by wine bars that are kept alive by music after sunset.

Other major highlights include a seven story lobby, a rock climbing wall and a miniature golf course that you will really enjoy. Royal Caribbean cruise vessels are the only ones with the rock walls so better not miss it. Whether it’s your first time or not, make sure to bring along a pair of socks and your confidence with you. The ship will provide you with all the necessary climbing equipments that you will need (harness, shoes, helmets, & etc).

Cuisine

Several Splendour of the Seas Reviews recommends a sumptuous breakfast buffet at Windjammer Café. Their buffet includes omelets, sausages and a wide array of breads & pastry.
